Kaum zu glauben, aber wahr:
Der rechtskonservative Sender FOX News lobt in einem Wahlkampfblog die Ergebnisse von Obamas Arbeit und insbesondere die Art seiner politischen Zusammenarbeit mit republikanischen Kollegen:
He often cooperated with Republican lawmakers [Abgeordnete], co-sponsoring their legislation and working with them on compromises.
“People on both sides of the aisle [auf beiden politischen Seiten] would find him to be someone who would reach across [~ man lernte ihn als jemanden kennen, der die Hand auch zum politischen Gegner ausstreckte] to find out why people think the way they do,” said William Mahar, a former Republican state senator.
“He wouldn’t talk just to people who agreed with him.” [Er sprach auch mit denen, die nicht mit seiner meinung übereinstimmten.]
[…]
During the debate [über ein Wohlfahrtsgesetz], two GOP [Grand Old Party = Republikaner] senators made a point of thanking Obama for his long hours of helping them improve the bill.
[…]
Rather than writing his own versions of the bills and then using the party’s new power to pass them, Obama teamed with Republican legislators and law enforcement groups.
Together, they worked out compromises.
Etc.pp.
Dazu u.a. folgende Kommentare auf der Blog-Seite:
“It is wonderful to see this article on your website.”
“Nice to see an article like this! I’m 100% sure that Barack Obama will be a great qualified President!”
“I too am surprised to such a positive article on you website.”
“Thanks Fox – This is a great article. Although I must say I’m suprised to see an article somewhat favorable to Senator Obama on your news site.”
Denen scheint es wie mir zu gehen.
Kann mich mal jemand zwicken?
